How to create semi-transparent looking objects in Photoshop
Hey everyone
I am a newbie to photoshop and I have always been curious as to how to get this effect in the image below with the see-through hood. I am unsure what effect its called, so if anyone can point me into the right direction, that would be fantastic :)
Thankyou all in advance

Just a quickie for any other non-photoshop owners following this
This can all be done in Photoshop elements more or less identically except that tools come up in different order and ignore guff about layer limitations which is untrue.(maybe no 16 bit)
For mac owners it can be done by simple cut and paste from one image to another in $50 progs which have lots of other great value features (a) GraphicConverter (which is my primary image viewer, browser and sorter - exact analogue of the finder) (b) Color-it, which has the advantage over I think all other progs that most tools work on a selection only, ie you can fine tune the scale, rotation and brightness/contrast of the selection being pasted in situ over the host image. Unfortunately it only just scraped into OS10 and has fairly poor colour space control. Main use is salvage/editing of old monochrome pics. The lack of layers makes job 10x as fast and stress free.
what prog are you using Geoff?
